“TITANIUM TADPOLE: A MEDICAL THRILLER” by http://JTK.CA My right lung collapsed two times In 1995. On the lung was found a bubble Which was probably a gift of birth. Like most bubbles, It inevitably burst, Causing a deflation of ego And a month of misery, Until the affectionately named University “Death Center” Stopped giving me cough syrup And sent me to the hospital For an X-ray. Words I never expected came: “You have a partially collapsed right lung, And we’re admitting you.” There went any plans I had for a while. Through a small incision in my chest, I was hooked up to the tube of a vacuum machine Which sucked out the air and fluid That had built up outside the collapsed lung. This caused it to naturally re-expand. It worked. Once again, I was full of hot air. The doctor said to me A chance of one in three Said that I’d be back for more. Naturally, he was right. Take 2! Re-expansion once again, And then the fun began. To find the bad bubble’s home On Terra Inflata, A cat scan was entailed... (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)... I always thought a cat scan would be fun. It’s not. Try telling a cat to stay still for several minutes. (Sorry, again). Through more small incisions, Surgery began. A cutter-stapler removed that pesky, popping bubble, And sealed the re-expanded lung shut with titanium staples. A golf-ball-sized piece of my right lung is now gone, So, I guess I’ll have to pass on your invitation to a game. Needless to say, It is a long, breathtaking story. Thanks to God For giving me a back-up lung during my crisis. Thanks also to Dr. Bryan M. Solmos For making every new day a breath of fresh air. © Tad (http://JTK.CA) NudistPoet (http://NudeCreations.com) a.k.a.
